RökFlöte

"Anyone expecting a death metal album from Jethro Tull is going to be disappointed. Ian Anderson is more interested in the characters and the cruelty that proliferate amid the myths and sagas of the Norse lands than in the comic-book manifestations that the subtlety-free death metal bands suck up so eagerly. What's surprising is that Anderson can kick up more menace with his flute than any number of hoarse roaring voices and thrashing guitars".

"An umlaut-heavy concept based on the pagan gods of Norse mythology culminating with the rebirth of the world after Armageddon. The subject matter sits somewhere between Wagner's "Götterdämmerung" and Led Zep, as Odin, Loki, Freya and Thor strut their stuff in Anderson's sword-and-sorcery lyrics. Yet the sound owes little to either as flute and mandolin lend a folk-rock ambience and John O'Hara's keyboards and Joe Parrish-James' guitar essay '70s prog tropes like they never went away".
